Love it.
We hung my sailboats. 🤍 I like it so much better than the mirror. I painted those 2 years ago and Gary just loves them. I carved around the board and details so there’s a lot of texture. It brought in some needed color!

Happy Saturday!
One thing is for sure, it’s a beautiful day in Northern Florida. We had a wonderful dinner at in Pensacola last night to celebrate my husband’s birthday a few days early. It was so fun and I managed not to splurge too much. I had the filet with asparagus and we spilt a gorgeous Crème…

Watercolor/ Pen
8×10 sketchbook/watercolor. I managed to finish this with a sharpie pen that was dying. 🤣 It was fighting for its life.

Happy Friday!
It’s a very cold, but beautiful day. 🤍 I’m enjoying having some of my plants inside. It’s giving me extra time to propagate them. 🪴 Yep, that’s how old folks spend their Fridays. 😉

Snack!
378 Cal | 12g Protein Here’s my snack before dinner tonight 🙂 Everyone is eating chips and dip and leftover cookies, but I’m sticking to it! Btw.. This snack tray has 2 oz portions. My hand is actually longer than the tray. I was spending a stupid amount of money on Trader Joe’s chips fried…

Sick of Hair Color 👎🏼
You can always tell when I need to dye my hair because I stop taking pictures of the top of my head. 🤣🤣🤣 Ugh. I hate hair color because it dries my hair out so bad, but I can’t really go without it either. At 47, I still haven’t gone completely white/gray. My Mom didn’t…

Busy Bees
We finally painted our bathroom. Whoop! It was so outdated looking but the black spruced it up some. I really want to rip out that tub and do a wall to wall shower and change the tile floors to stone eventually. The mirror is uneven with the window and that bothers me, but that mirror…

Such a difference.
THIS is what Organic Grassfed beef looks like! Look how red and beautiful. It reminds me of what deer meat looks like. It’s so worth it to invest in good meat. I don’t think I could go back to eating some of the meat from grocery stores now. I know it’s higher to buy grassfed…

Aldi Run!
Aldi has these containers and I’m so stoked about it. I weigh my food a lot and portion is a big deal. I think these are going to be so useful! I also found a Poppi dupe that’s only 1.59 per can. They’re pretty good! They have the ACV in them too.

Thank you!
I’m blown away by all the traffic on my sourdough recipes from fb recently. I’m so glad to see it being used, and to see all the returning visitors. It works great for me, and I’ve used it for over a year without needing to change anything. Be sure to check out my section with…

Wake & Bake 🤍
Just a little reminder for Winter… It’s taking my dough on average 2 hrs longer to proof. It’s been mild temps here in Florida, but the lack of sunlight the last few days have my granite countertops FREEZING. I sat my glass proofing bowl on my butcher block last night to prevent it from staying…

These are SO good.
I found these at Target and they’re really good and filling. 13g Protein and 5g of sugar! 🤍

Last Boule of the Year!
This isn’t traditional sourdough, as it has milk and honey in it… but it’s really good! You can always sub out water with milk and add in a few tbsp honey with your normal sourdough recipe. You don’t get the giant ear and rise, but it’s so soft and yummy! And here’s the new Toaster…

When are you most happy? When I’m concentrating on gratitude and focused on my family. No doubt. I know I’m one to romanticize life, but I think that’s a good thing. It’s only offensive to people who don’t want you to be happy, so you might as well just love the heck out of everything…

Happy Sunday 🤍
We went out for a wonderful beignet breakfast downtown, and then we came home to watch church. Gary started running a low grade fever after we ate, so we decided we didn’t need to expose anyone else. So…. We had our own communion here via online service with my sourdough and grape juice. 🤍 Norah…

How have your political views changed over time? I guess it’s just something I’ve grown more interested in as I’ve gotten older. As an adult and homeowner I wanted to know more about where our money goes and why. Even on a local level… property taxes etc. It made me start wanting to understand more…

12 days of Christmas?
Traditionally, the 12 days of Christmas began yesterday and the 3 kings come on January 6th. Do you take down your decorations and tree the day after Christmas or leave it up to enjoy until the 6th? We like to celebrate the season, but we are considering taking down the tree so we can re-map…

Nope.
These are a no for me. Terrible taste, off putting color, and so many unnecessary ingredients. I bought 5 kits, so I’ll be adding them into my normal green smoothies to use them but they’re awful and have very little protein or nutrients.

What is your all time favorite automobile? 77’ (my birth year) Stingray Corvette. My Mom had one when we were kids and she’d drop me off at school every morning in it. It was turquoise metallic blue with white interior. It was a beauty. My second choice would be a 68 Malibu or any old…

Brunch!
I just finished my 16 hour fast, so I’m doubling down on my Avo Toast! I love it so much! Never gets old. I tossed some Arugula on it today for some extra greens. 🥬

Christmas Crash?
I think I’ve actually avoided it this year! The kids are older, so there’s no staying up all night putting things together. We don’t drink alcohol anymore, so there’s no holiday hangovers and we ate relatively healthy this year, so I feel better than I usually do. Gary made another wonderful turkey yesterday. It was…

I hope everyone had a wonderful day! 🤍🤍🤍

Zzzz
I’m tired. Christmas is so fun but now I’m exhausted! Everyone is happy and full today. The kids are older, so there were bigger, but less presents so it goes fast. Norah Harper got a newer 3s VR that charges faster, a cool LED docking charger for it, some fun stuff for her room, makeup…

What a beauty!
She’s too big for bread but this is my new Gumbo and Jambalaya pot! I love a good Dutch oven. I love this brand too. I’m not a fan of magnalites, because I 100% prefer cast iron to aluminum in any vessel, so I can’t wait to use this Italian beauty on a multitude of…

Yum!
My husband brought these home today. They’re really good.

30 days no urticaria!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Supplementing and being more aware of what I’m eating seems to be keeping it away! My supplements are lengthy but worth it. Here’s what I’ve been taking daily for both skin, stress and digestion: Morning Night: I really believe it’s all been helpful. I’m sleeping well and overall feeling much better. I’ve never been…

What was the last thing you did for play or fun? Gary and I wrestled in a giant pile of leaves in the backyard today. He made a HUGE pile and I tried to jump out and scare him. 🤣🤣🤣
-
It’s about to smell good!
Tropical BBQ seasoned chuck roast is in the crock pot. Gary’s Mom and Richard are coming tomorrow, so I’m making BBQ Beef & Queso nachos. We all used to eat them at The Shed in Biloxi, and they don’t have them on the menu anymore, so I thought I’d treat us! It’s white queso with…

Done! They look so good!

List your top 5 grocery store items. I haven’t done one of these prompts in a few days, but that’s a good question, I’d say: •Chicken- Thighs/Breasts/Wings We buy beef locally and I’m stocked up so I really only get chicken now) •Cheese- Mozz/Cheddar/String/Gouda/Feta/Gorgonzola etc •Peanut Butter • Dave’s Killer Breads- White Done Right for…

8 boules coming up!
We went from 6 to 8, but that’s ok 🙂 I also made sugar and chocolate chip cookies for the kids and Gary. 🤍

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wooo hooo. I’ve officially lost 19 lbs. and I haven’t felt like I’ve sacrificed anything to do it. Now I’m just going to concentrate on maintaining it. Also, these are so good. I know they’re higher than Annie’s (3$ a box) but you can use them as a base for a good hearty meal. Add…

Chick-fil-A Lunch!
Tried something different today and the numbers came out even better! 626 calories/49g protein Just an FYI.. the Chick-fil-A menu says the wrap is 660 calories but that is including the avocado dressing that has 310 calories. So the wrap is just 350 calories. Gary and I halfed a wrap and each got a bag…

Cleaning Spree!
All my rugs are up but I have completely reorganized everything in my kitchen. Made a little coffee bar to free up some counter space and moved my plants inside too.
